Winners and losers May 13, 2021

Show notes

This week George and Ali planned on doing a full review of the season, but then Derby happened so we had to tear up the script a little (rip it in places carefully?). This week we bring back an old feature of the show "Not the Back Pages" to go deep on Derby with Ryan Conway. Then we get back to the script as planned and go through the less obvious winners and losers of the EFL this season - and the first winner will almost certainly raise an eyebrow or two. There's all that plus we speak with Bolton Manager Ian Evatt about his side's imperious rise to promotion.

RUNNING ORDER

PART 1 - Not the back pages with Ryan Conway (00.30)

PART 2a - Championship winners (15.00)

PART 2b - Championship losers (25.00)

PART 3a - League One winners (35.00)

PART 3b - League One losers (41.00)

PART 4a - League Two winner Ian Evatt (46.00)
